About VAID’S ICS Lucknow

VAID’S ICS Lucknow, a leading Consultancy for Civil Services, was started in 1988 to provide expert guidance, consultancy and counselling to aspirants for a career in Civil Services.

The Civil Services (including the PCS) and the PCS (J) attract some of the best talented young persons in our country. The sheer diversity of work and it’s nature, the opportunity to serve the country and be directly involved in nation-building, makes the bureaucracy the envy of both-the serious and the adventurous. Its multi-tiered (Prelims, Mains & Interview) examination is one of the most stringent selection procedures. VAID’S ICS Lucknow, from its inception, has concentrated on the requirements of the civil services aspirants. The Institute expects, and helps in single-minded dedication and preparation.

The Institute has some strong values, reflected in equal emphasis to Hindi and English as mediums of examination and encouragement to hitherto lesser known subjects. Its non-elitist approach attracts students not only from UP, MP & Bihar but as far-flung places as Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar Raipur, Indore, Gwalior and other far-off places.
